Trump’s admission here PROVES he is lying about his mental state.
And it looks like his doctors are hiding a *FORMAL* diagnosis of cognitive impairment.
It’s easy to miss the evidence in his rambling, but it’s BAD!

Trump has been given the “Montreal Cognitive Assessment” (MOCA) which is the standard evaluation used by doctors, including the US Navy at Walter Reed, to test for dementia.
Even though the MoCA is NOT part of the standard annual Presidential physical.
We know this as it is the only US accepted adult cognitive test that requires identifying 3 animals.

BUT, now we know he has had 3 of these cognitive tests since the start of the year by his own admission!
If someone fails a MOCA they are tested twice more with a 3 month delay between each test version.

A woman in her mid-30s went to see Dr. Priyal Modi, an integrative medicine practitioner.
The woman was navigating major life transitions, including the loss of a parent, the end of a long-term relationship, and work-related stress. She decided to take a sabbatical to reassess her path but felt isolated and depressed, and her thoughts were consumed by self-criticism and rumination.
“She had been prescribed antidepressants but was struggling with side effects,” Modi said.

“She had been prescribed antidepressants but was struggling with side effects,” Modi said.
They began weekly breathwork sessions, shown to stimulate the vagus nerve, and focused on creating awareness around the mental loops she had been reinforcing.
By the 10th session, her symptoms improved significantly.
Many mental health challenges, including anxiety and depression, often stem from a dysregulated nervous system. The vagus nerve plays a key role in restoring emotional balance.

🧵 MAGA, Reagan, and the Conservative Shift – The Antithesis
Part 1: The Semantic and Ideological Deception
1/30
Donald Trump, the second outsider President in Republican history and the executor of the Reagan vision of national strength. This is the thesis Trump uses to win over the conservative base. His core quote: “I don’t look at myself as an outsider. I am who Ronald Reagan was. He was a conservative who got things done. I’m a conservative who’s going to get things done.” The Republican Party celebrates this comparison as the transfer of Reagan’s legacy into the next century. But does Trump’s policy truly stand up to this historical claim? #MAGAAnalysis #ReaganComparison #USPolitics

Reagan conservatism was based on consensus and the values of the “Big Tent” GOP. His guiding ideology was neoliberalism and supply-side economics (Reaganomics). His strategy was deeply rooted in pragmatism and the ability to strategically cooperate with political opponents.

The Political Philosophy of Reagan: His paramount principle was: “If you agree on 80%, don’t argue over the 20%.” He actively sought broad coalitions to pass legislation. He succeeded with the crucial tax reform of 1986, which he passed with a fully Democrat-controlled House and Senate.

The history of Russian cyberattacks is a history of repeated failure to appreciate warnings. These attacks were not extremely impactful, but they were extremely aggressive. When the GRU attacked US and European food and water, they told us just how far they will go. 1/x
The opportunity here is to appreciate their intent. While the proxy they used had middling capability (even with coaching) the GRU has other, far more capable options. Those options, operating with the same intent, are a very serious threat. 2/x
Given current geopolitics, and other similar signs of intent like recent physical hybrid attacks, the implication here is that Europe is already in the midst of a simmering cyber conflict that may be difficult to appreciate due to the use of proxies. 3/x

THE FALL BEFORE ADAM
Biblical Proof of Lucifer’s Rebellion Between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2**
Chapter 1. The Bible Opens With Perfection, Not Chaos
The first sentence of the Bible establishes the nature of God and the condition of creation. It reads, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). Whenever God creates anything, it is perfect, complete, and harmonious. This is evident all throughout Scripture. God’s works are described as “very good” (Genesis 1:31). God is not the author of confusion, and He does not create darkness, evil, ruin, or corruption. The character of God demands that Genesis 1:1 is an account of a flawless creation. It reflects His power, His order, and His glory. A perfect God creates perfect things.
But the very next verse immediately reveals something is wrong. “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep” (Genesis 1:2). This is not the continuation of perfection. It is the description of devastation. The world is submerged in water, shrouded in darkness, stripped of structure and life. The condition of the earth in Genesis 1:2 cannot be the condition God originally created in verse 1. Scripture teaches that God “formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain” (Isaiah 45:18). The word “vain” there is the same Hebrew word “tohu” translated “without form” in Genesis 1:2. God says plainly that He did not create the earth in that ruined condition. Therefore, something happened between verse 1 and verse 2.
The Bible never contradicts itself. If God says He did not create the earth “tohu,” then the “tohu” condition must have come from something other than God’s creative act. It came from judgment. A perfect creation in verse 1 becomes a devastated creation in verse 2. That devastation demands a cause. The Bible supplies one: the fall of Lucifer. Scripture is its own interpreter, and the opening of Genesis deliberately sets the stage for a reconstruction, not an original creation. God is repairing a universe shattered by rebellion.
Chapter 2. Darkness Cannot Come From God
The presence of darkness in Genesis 1:2 is one of the most overlooked proofs of a pre-Adamic fall. The Bible declares without hesitation, “God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5). If a world is covered in darkness, that darkness did not originate from God. Something has caused creation to be separated from the light of God. Darkness is not a natural state in Scripture. It is the result of judgment, separation, or rebellion.
Whenever God judges, darkness appears. During the plagues of Egypt, “there was a thick darkness” (Exodus 10:22). At the crucifixion of Christ, “there was darkness over all the earth” (Luke 23:44). The darkness of Genesis 1:2 is not a neutral environmental condition. It is the aftermath of divine displeasure. Darkness signals that something has broken fellowship with God and that judgment has already fallen.
If Genesis 1:2 were simply an unfinished creation, as some claim, God would not describe it with symbols consistently used for judgment. The Spirit of God moving upon the face of the waters is the image of restoration after catastrophe. God is beginning to reclaim what has been ruined. A God who is light did not create a world covered in darkness. Something catastrophic plunged creation into shadow long before Adam opened his eyes. That something was the rebellion of Lucifer.
Chapter 3. Lucifer Was Created Perfect, Not as a Serpent
The next major proof of a pre-Adamic fall is that Satan does not originate as a serpent. He appears as one in Genesis 3 because he has already fallen. But his original creation is described in Ezekiel 28:12–15. Scripture says, “Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty” and “Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.” This is not the serpent of Genesis 3. This is a majestic cherub,

But his original creation is described in Ezekiel 28:12–15. Scripture says, “Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty” and “Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.” This is not the serpent of Genesis 3. This is a majestic cherub,
adorned in precious stones, walking in the midst of the stones of fire, anointed to cover the throne of God.
The creature in Genesis 3 is cursed. The being in Ezekiel 28 is glorified. The serpent is judged. The cherub was exalted. These cannot be the same state of existence. Satan did not fall in Eden; he arrived in Eden already fallen. Genesis never records the moment he sinned. It assumes the reader already knows. The Old Testament prophets fill in the blanks that Genesis leaves intentionally unspoken.
Isaiah 14 reveals the heart of Lucifer’s rebellion. He said in his pride, “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God… I will be like the most High” (Isaiah 14:13–14). These statements precede the temptation of Eve. Lucifer is already at war with God. He already has a throne. He already has a kingdom. His fall predates Adam by an unknown span of time. Genesis 3 is not his origin; it is his intrusion. His fall must occur before Adam is created. Therefore, it must occur between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2.
Chapter 4. The World That “Perished” Was Not Noah’s World
Peter provides a devastating piece of evidence for the pre-Adamic fall. He writes, “The world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished” (2 Peter 3:6). This is not Noah’s flood. Noah’s world did not perish. Noah and his family survived. The animals survived. The planet remained habitable. Peter is referring to a world that no longer exists. Noah’s flood reshaped the world. The earlier flood destroyed it.
The context supports this. Peter contrasts three worlds. First, “the heavens… of old” (creation). Second, “the world that then was” (destroyed). Third, “the heavens and the earth, which are now” (present creation). Noah’s flood belongs to the present creation, not a previous one. The flood that destroyed an entire world must be earlier, older, and more comprehensive. Only Genesis 1:2 fits.
The Spirit of God moves upon the waters in Genesis 1:2. Those waters are there because judgment put them there. The restoration that follows is God reclaiming a universe shattered by rebellion. The idea that Noah’s flood is the only flood in Scripture ignores Peter’s plain teaching that a world truly “perished.” Noah’s did not. The original creation described in Genesis 1:1 did.
Chapter 5. “Thou Art Wiser Than Daniel” Reveals a Pre-Adamic History
One of the most revealing statements about Lucifer occurs in Ezekiel 28:3. God says, “Thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee.” Daniel is one of the wisest men in Scripture. For Lucifer to be declared wiser than him indicates a depth of knowledge far beyond anything possessed by earthly beings. This knowledge was part of his original creation. But Scripture also says his wisdom was corrupted “by reason of thy brightness” (Ezekiel 28:17). Pride entered. Knowledge became a snare. His exalted status fed his rebellion.
This is the heart of Lucifer’s sin. He believed that no secret should be hidden from him. He sought to transcend the boundaries God placed upon created beings. He attempted to obtain knowledge forbidden to him. This is why his temptation of Eve mirrors his own fall. He used knowledge as the instrument of rebellion. He told Eve that eating the fruit would make her “as gods, knowing good and evil” (Genesis 3:5). The temptation was not hunger. It was revelation. He replayed his own downfall in Eve’s ear.
This alone proves his fall predates Eden. He brought his corrupted wisdom with him. He orchestrated Eve’s temptation with the same tools that corrupted him. His sin was old. His judgment was old. His knowledge was old. The garden scene is not the birthplace of evil. It is the reenactment of an ancient rebellion that unfolded before Adam existed.
Chapter 6. Eden Only Makes Sense if There Was a War Before Eden
When the serpent appears in Genesis 3, he is already under a curse. God says, “Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle”
The creature in Genesis 3 is cursed. The being in Ezekiel 28 is glorified. The serpent is judged. The cherub was exalted. These cannot be the same state of existence. Satan did not fall in Eden; he arrived in Eden already fallen. Genesis never records the moment he sinned. It assumes the reader already knows. The Old Testament prophets fill in the blanks that Genesis leaves intentionally unspoken.

Chapter 6. Eden Only Makes Sense if There Was a War Before Eden
When the serpent appears in Genesis 3, he is already under a curse. God says, “Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle”
(Genesis 3:14). How can he be cursed before Adam and Eve have sinned? Because the curse pronounced here is not the origin of Satan’s judgment; it is the manifestation of it. His fall, his transformation, his corruption, and his rebellion are all in the past by the time Genesis 3 opens.
Furthermore, the fact that he appears as a serpent rather than as a cherub proves that his fall has already occurred. Ezekiel’s description of his original splendor is incompatible with the image of a talking serpent slithering through Eden. God did not create a serpent who was once perfect and beautiful. God created a cherub whose sin transformed his state of existence. The serpent imagery is symbolic, revealing his degraded nature and his cunning. The fall occurred before Eden. Genesis 3 simply introduces him in his new form.
Eden is not the scene of Lucifer’s fall. It is the scene of humanity’s fall. Lucifer is an intruder. His rebellion is not recorded in Eden because Eden is not the setting of that rebellion. Eden is the setting of his revenge.
Chapter 7. The Reconstruction of Creation Proves a Previous Destruction
When God begins His six-day work in Genesis 1:3, He is not creating ex nihilo. He is repairing. He is restoring. He is rebuilding. The Spirit of God moves upon the waters because the waters are the result of destruction. God separates light from darkness because darkness was the result of rebellion. The pattern of reconstruction mirrors other judgments in Scripture.
During Noah’s flood, the fountains of the deep were broken up and darkness covered the earth. After the flood, God restored order. This pattern echoes Genesis 1:2. A flood. Darkness. Waters. Restoration. But Noah’s flood was partial. The earlier flood was total. The reconstruction described in Genesis proves a destruction not recorded in Genesis 2 or 3. It must be older. It must be pre-Adamic.
The Bible says the earth was “without form and void.” Jeremiah 4:23 uses this same language to describe devastation from judgment. When God judges, He leaves things “tohu” and “bohu.” These words never describe an unfinished masterpiece. They describe a ruin. The earth of Genesis 1:2 is a ruin. Creation week is God rebuilding the universe after Lucifer’s rebellion brought it to ruin.
Chapter 8. The Gap Is Not Heresy; It Is the Only Reading Consistent With Scripture
Some Christians accuse the Gap view of being heresy. But heresy is teaching contrary to Scripture. The Gap view is built entirely from Scripture. It explains darkness, ruin, judgment, the nature of God, the fall of Lucifer, the serpent’s appearance in Eden, and Peter’s reference to a destroyed world. The alternative view forces people to believe that God creates chaos, that darkness originates in God, that Satan fell inside Eden, and that the earth was created in a cursed state. None of this matches the Bible.
The Gap honors every passage without forcing them to contradict one another. It sees Genesis 1:1 as the perfect creation of God, Genesis 1:2 as the judged ruin following Lucifer’s fall, and Genesis 1:3 onward as a reconstruction for Adam’s world. This perfectly matches the character of God, the nature of Lucifer’s sin, the typology of Scripture, and the prophetic references to earlier ages.
Furthermore, the fact that he appears as a serpent rather than as a cherub proves that his fall has already occurred. Ezekiel’s description of his original splendor is incompatible with the image of a talking serpent slithering through Eden. God did not create a serpent who was once perfect and beautiful. God created a cherub whose sin transformed his state of existence. The serpent imagery is symbolic, revealing his degraded nature and his cunning. The fall occurred before Eden. Genesis 3 simply introduces him in his new form.
Eden is not the scene of Lucifer’s fall. It is the scene of humanity’s fall. Lucifer is an intruder. His rebellion is not recorded in Eden because Eden is not the setting of that rebellion. Eden is the setting of his revenge.

It must be pre-Adamic.
The Bible says the earth was “without form and void.” Jeremiah 4:23 uses this same language to describe devastation from judgment. When God judges, He leaves things “tohu” and “bohu.” These words never describe an unfinished masterpiece. They describe a ruin. The earth of Genesis 1:2 is a ruin. Creation week is God rebuilding the universe after Lucifer’s rebellion brought it to ruin.
Chapter 8. The Gap Is Not Heresy; It Is the Only Reading Consistent With Scripture
Some Christians accuse the Gap view of being heresy. But heresy is teaching contrary to Scripture. The Gap view is built entirely from Scripture. It explains darkness, ruin, judgment, the nature of God, the fall of Lucifer, the serpent’s appearance in Eden, and Peter’s reference to a destroyed world. The alternative view forces people to believe that God creates chaos, that darkness originates in God, that Satan fell inside Eden, and that the earth was created in a cursed state. None of this matches the Bible.
The Gap honors every passage without forcing them to contradict one another. It sees Genesis 1:1 as the perfect creation of God, Genesis 1:2 as the judged ruin following Lucifer’s fall, and Genesis 1:3 onward as a reconstruction for Adam’s world. This perfectly matches the character of God, the nature of Lucifer’s sin, the typology of Scripture, and the prophetic references to earlier ages.
